    Shoot with the camera you like, the one that attracts you most NOT the one that is the most popular, considered the best performing, the best looking. Get the camera that makes you want to go out and take photos. That's all.

      Also thought: Either it is sarcastic, or did Ricoh start bribing influencers, to bring some old marketing and nostalgia messages across? Is it a coincidence, that the dpreview's youtube guy brought Pentax marketing and nostalgia messages across as well, only a few days ago?
      I was expecting a fun video, making sarcasting fun about a crappy body of a dying system, with a few ancient lens museum lenses. But the video was strangely lame, as if Kai had to say things, he didn't really want to.

Always wandered what's wrong with people who dislike it. Lab tests showed BRUTAL image quality compared to high end APSc DSLRs. Weather resistance, in body IBIS, REAL viewfinder, not the stupid mirror, outstanding lenses (even pancakes are killer), ASTROTRACER, and of course, less important but for some people pleasing - X factor (strange looking, rare and available in silver)

    The camera market is simply rigged: Every review of a Pentax which I have seen was positive and mentions the great features (weather resistance, and all the cool stuff that is possible just because of the in-body stabilisator, to name a few), but when it comes to raw numbers, they always make sure that the bigger manufacturers keep a slightly better rating. The best explanation I have for this are the huge advertisements from Canon and Nikon you usually see on the pages surrounding the test...
    Don't get me wrong, many professional photographers may have good reasons stick to one of the big brands - but most customers simply are not informed well enough to choose the camera that would be the best for their needs:
    They never spend several ten thousand bucks for gear that might be superior, and just pay a hefty extra for stuff which has much lower quality than what the pros use; or they buy Canon, because their buddy said that this is the best brand (of course, it is also the only brand he knows...).
    Pentax isn't strictly superior, but if photographers would be better informed, the marketshare would be much higher than it is now.

    Hi again. Thanks for a bit of Pentax love. I mostly use my x100f because of its size and weight advantage over almost everything. But, when I want /need/anticipate a different focal length I go back to my K3 and Ltd lenses or longer DA* lens. Also when my x100 is back at Fuji Aust for repairs I have plenty of time to reaquaint myself with the K as the repair time for Fuji is between 2 and 4 weeks! Is that the same every where? Anyway, thanks again. If the new APS-C camera is significantly better than the K3 I may change up, but the K3 and KP and so good that I will most likely keep it for ages to come. Have you tried mounting the Pentax lens' on a fuji camera?

      I've used Pentax SLRs & DSLRs since 1979. I've never found a reason to change and I can still use any Pentax lens made since then on my K1.

    I bought the original Pentax Q for a fun small camera and I’ve enjoyed it so much I’ve been looking towards the Pentax DSLRs for my pro work. Never thought I’d ever consider that, but there’s something about this little Q that’s pulled me in! (If you have one/buy one make sure you upgrade the firmware. It fixes pretty much everything that was wrong when it launched)

    43mm is the perfect normal focal length because it is the diagonal measurement of the sensor. I wish it were a more common focal length. PENTAX knows exactly what they are doing in making a 43mm lens. Supposed to be a brilliant lens too.

    Hello Kai, as always I enjoyed this video very much, and the Pentax looks like a nice little camera,
    as for me my Olympus omd is what I enjoy useing, light great image pictures, and a tool at the end of the day.

    "How many people own a Pentax, let alone touched one..." I suspect almost every viewer over 40 owned a Pentax at some point in their lives. And I have a sneaky suspicion a few of us still have it stuffed away in a draw somewhere 😁
